The Colonies
Milton R. Hunter broke ground with his list of Mormon settlements in the 1930’s, but his resources were limited, and his period covered only Brigham Young’ lifetime. Lynn Albert Rosenvall took the list up to 1900 in his thesis of 1972. This writer, while doing research for the Museum of Church History and Art, found more 19th century communities and others that were founded as Latter-day Saint colonies up to 1930. The inventory now stands as a total of 742 in the western United States, Canada, Mexico, and Polynesia. This figure may be incomplete, but nearly final.
